Best epic movies I probably haven't seen?

The Russian version of Solaris.

DARK CITY - is the pre matrix matrix movie of disclosures

or any matt damon movie if you want to learn the secrets of the universe

Thread: Matt Damon plays HIMSELF in every movie, and DISCLOSES TRUTH in every one

/

GO watch this and THANK ME after

The 'other' HOLLYWEIRD flicks that were recommended are just that HOLLYWEIRD as are your mentions

These MEN should be FREE not locked in cages


GO watch some TRUTH and JUSTICE !!!!!

The client.
A time to kill.
The rainmaker.

Funny film. Try also, Sexy Beast (not a sex movie, it's a gangster flick), Essex Boys, Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

And of course the Godfather series.

My Blue Heaven is worth a watch too.

Honestly... A lot of these streaming service tv shows are a million times better than movies these days - at least past 20 years. And I'm sure it helps that they can just pay good actors relatively unknown so and so a certain fair amount and spend the most money on production quality instead of just flopping out a piece of dogshit that totally blows that a high school kid could make that has so and so money who - e garbage that takes 25million just to flash a face and name.

A lot of these foreign shows are really good - but the ones that don't overdub in english are beyond stupid if they're trying to market in america. Nobody wants to actively and intensely fast read some subtitles when they are trying to actually watch a visual fancy play.

You can't even see their acting or faces or backgrounds items or clues of visual presentation and you sure as hell can't miss even 5 seconds of it going to the kitchen or bathroom or smoke or talk to a friend or make out or go get the front door or whatever and hear it and know what's goin on if even in the background and not miss vital things or feel like you are.
That's the main reason I hate anime not dubbed in english too. It's all about the story artwork and visuals THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN ENJOY OR APPRECIATE OR EVEN NOTICE BECAUSE YOU ARE FRANTICALLY READING AND FOCUSING ALL ATENTION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

I search for lists of "best 100 movies of all time" "best scifi movies all time" etc. then scroll through the lists.

Nobody. I ignored 3 screens and phone while it streamed.

LEXX -- Space metaphysical series.

The expanse.

Hand maids tail. Wait no no that one is too 2028 in the current time stream.

Watch all Enterprise as the continuation of quantum leap.
"Sam jumps into captain archer". Sam jumps into ncis new orleans is funny too.

Korean horror.

it's funny Matrix movies 2 & 3 get panned when they really are just as good if not better than the first

i have a vague conjecture that it's because in 2 & 3 it's a community together resisting instead of a superhero

also it's odd the Wachowski brothers went transgender and then made a total flop bomb of a movie ... forget the name, some girl discovers she's royalty in a galactic empire, had a huge budget but was total garbage

watch all the james bond movies in sequence, that should keep you busy for awhile

prometheus -- you've probably seen

Excellent thread, thx for all the great movie tips.

Apocalypto

From 1985, one of Kurosawa's best films - A bleak view of the world and an allegory on how evil people seek wealth, prestige and power and spread suffering and death to all around them.

13 Hours

Black 47. On Netflix

Cool flick

Papillion

Ben-Hur

Spartacus

Lawrence of Arabia

Great film!
Thought I put on my list... take on King Lear .

The original Planet of the Apes movies are great

Also Gettsysburg is a faithful 4 hour epic about the 3-day battle.

City of God (2002) is incredible if you don’t mind subtitles. It is Brazilian.

man in the iron mask, shakes the clown, Ford fairlaine, true man

Apocalypto is must see as is anything made by Mel Gibson.

This is actually really good.
